The Memory Auction: When Memories Become Currency, What Remains of the Soul?
What would you sell if memories were money?
In a near future where human memories can be extracted, stored, and sold, the world tells itself a comforting lie: this technology exists to heal, to preserve, to protect. To cure forgetting. To defeat death.
The truth is darker.
Memories have become currency.
The desperate sell their happiest moments to survive.
The powerful collect them like art.
When one woman unknowingly sells a memory she can never afford to lose, she discovers that forgetting does not erase love. It only leaves behind an ache with no name. A sense of loss without a face. A bond severed, but not destroyed.
Driven by grief she cannot explain and a truth her body still remembers, she enters a hidden world of private auctions, memory vaults, and moral compromises, where human lives are reduced to glowing vials on glass shelves. Each purchase blurs the line between experience and ownership, identity and theft.
As she fights to reclaim what was taken from her, she is forced to confront a terrifying question:
If your memories can be owned by someone else, who do you really belong to?
The Memory Auction is a haunting, emotionally grounded science-fiction novel about love, loss, inequality, and the fragile idea of self. It explores what happens when technology touches the one thing that makes us human, and asks how much of ourselves can be sold before nothing remains.
This is not a story about the future.
It is a story about what we value now.
